I've used SVOX with very good results. I've also used ShoutOut and was impressed with it as well. Text to Speech Extended has a large download number (popularity is usually a sign of performance, but not always). I also found that IVONA voice engine has some very nice sounding voices and often does a much better job of giving directions on Navigation than the stock voice.

There are many different Text to Speech tools for SMS, MMS, Email, Navigation and basic text. What you may not have realized is that when you find a result in search on the Play Store that fits the search, but isn't quite what you wanted, if you scroll down the page for the app, you'll see on the left a list of a few other apps that people have downloaded when looking for the same thing you are. Often times I find those alternate choices to be better than the one I found.

I use My MotoSpeak. It reads my text's and understands my TN/NY accent enough to be able to send a reply back. I use GoSms Pro as my text app.

Yeah, MotoSpeak was another one I forgot to mention...good call! I still have it installed, but like most everything I gyrate between a couple apps for a particular purpose. I don't know, I guess I'm just fickle! :icon_eek:

Is it still reading text messages? My maxx HD has never read messages and Handcent and drivesafe.ly were the first two apps installed

Not in that configuration. Drivesafe.ly became way too unreliable and unpredictable. I have reloaded Waze and now use Dragon Assistant. It's not as seamless as DS.ly use to be, but performs acceptably.
